Z-I-v Summer Contest 2020

Click to go to the simfile page. ITG-sized graphics in the comments.

Team VWXYZ represent! Out of the choices they posted, we went with the first one. It's a very Naganuma track, and in a very good way. We had loads of fun making the chart and I hope you guys find it just as fun!

Ask and ye shall receive.


Even the song itself is a collaboration! (sort of)

Full credits in simfile page comments.

The top 2 contestants in Soft Landing are back as a team! With our talents combined, we present this bubbly stepchart.
(Fun fact: Despite the team name “Soflan Sisters”, about:blank isn’t a girl.)

HaleyHalcyon, you might want to fix your URL. Every time I click it, I get a link to edit your simfile.

You might not want that. .w.

Me and Silver Spirit both like the album RADIAL from Diverse System, so when we decided to work on a stepchart together we knew we should use it. We might make more files for songs from RADIAL together in the future, possibly.

Updated the simfile with DDRDAIKENKAI's chart instead of my chart (to make things more equal). Please re-download in case you care about that difficulty slot.

Good afternoon! I can't believe the contest is already starting to wind down to a close. Participating in this (and through all of the drama) has made these last few months go by really quickly. Here's your last theme before the VIP room cutoff:


That's right, we're back to another buffet-style theme. Every one of these requirements were made with the intent of honing in on freestyling as a theme. Since some of these requirements may be convoluted, here are some clarifications:
- The requirements apply to your hardest chart.
- Spins or 270s that can be footswitched are allowed
- Blue note syndrome is acceptable, as long as the notes would be 4ths, 8ths, or 12ths otherwise
- The lower limit for the BPM range is 100.00 BPM, and the upper limit is 160.00. Songs that run at, say, 160.50, would not count.

Since this is potentially your last week, make it count! Good luck to all participating, and as always, contact me through PM or Discord if you have any questions!

Where Are You Going? seems to have been omitted from this week's download.

EDIT: Looks like the ZIP generated incorrectly due to the title - sorry about that. If it still doesn't work, please try the custom ZIP instead!

Guess who found out it was Sunday and not Saturday 3 minutes before the deadline? Won't happen this week.

edit: meant to append this to my last post

Requirements:
✅ There are at least 5 spins or 270-degree turns really went for a reason to call the ESP chart "Spinnamon"
✅ The song is between 100-160 BPM inclusive

Heyo so I know this is coming in like almost 3 weeks late but editing down 4 hours of footage is much harder than I would have suspected, but if anyone wants incredibly belated Week 6 reviews, here they are.



If I do this again, it'll probably just be for [ZIv Academy VI] files because it's only 12 files instead of nearly 40 lol. Maybe I'll just stream tho. Maybe both! Stay tuned...

From 真野恵里菜's album "BEST FRIENDS". This is her last single as a member of Hello! Project. Her graduation song? I thought it was fitting for the last (non-VIP) week of this contest.

This file satisfies the following requirements:
There are at least 5 spins or 270-degree turns
There are only 4ths, 8ths, or 12ths in the chart
The chart replicates choreography seen in the song's music video or its chart in another game (e.g. Just Dance) for at least one measure - the chorus was based loosely off the music video's choreography
The song is between 100-160 BPM inclusive

Other difficulties will come if I feel like you deserve them. But I think it's kinda cute the way it is. Think of it as a Trial song from a Japanese CS DDR Mix!

Okay so for the last week file I thought my partner already uploaded it so I didn't upload it. Turns out it's not the case. Well that was embarassing. But oh well, I don't really mind it. So here's my file for this week.
Okay so this chart has been in my backlog for long enough where I did the last part and mimick how the people in the video acts just for lulz, but I guess I can release it here now lmao.

(O) There are at least 5 spins or 270-degree turns
(X) There are more than 2 simultaneous notes at one or more points (I just don't feel like adding hands or quads here, and adding only once or twice of it felt weird for me)
(O) There are only 4ths, 8ths, or 12ths in the chart
(O) The chart replicates choreography seen in the song's music video or its chart in another game (e.g. Just Dance) for at least one measure (see measure 58-65)
(O) The song is between 100-160 BPM inclusive

I'll do the lower difficulties later.

APPEND: Fixed Video Encoding and sync
